Fortnite Update 1.59 Adds Thanos, Read the Patch Notes

The Fortnite update 1.59 patch notes are now available, and they detail all of the different changes made in the free-to-play shooter's latest patch (version 4.1). The biggest addition comes in the form of the surprise Avengers: Infinity War crossover event for Fortnite Battle Royale. Called the “Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup,” it adds the Infinity Gauntlet (equipped with all six Infinity Stones) onto the map and allows players to become Thanos.

In the past several months Fortnite has gone from a hit title to being a straight up pop culture phenomenon. It's grown so huge that even celebrities like Drake are capturing headlines by streaming their own experiences. Pro athletes have also been seen using in-game dances during their own celebrations mid-game. Epic Games are making a record amount of money and this crossover event will only add to their bottom line.

Other changes according to the official Fortnite update 1.59 patch notes include a new weapon for Save the World mode called the HackSAW. This new gun is "best used when stationary, aiming down the sights, and firing in short bursts." Version 4.1 also includes stability fixes that will help with crashing issues that some players have been experiencing.

Update: Due to feedback of difficult it is for players to get a chance to try the Infinity Gauntlet, Epic Games will be making changes to the limited time mode.

We've heard your feedback and we're looking to make a few tweaks to give more players the chance to wield the Infinity Gauntlet in the new Limited Time Mash-Up!
